The Institute is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting serious, independent Catholic journalism through reporting fellowships and related initiatives.
It was established to strengthen independent reporting on the Catholic Church and religion in public life, particularly in regions that are often underreported.
The Institute focuses specifically on Catholic journalism, combining global reporting support with fellowships for emerging journalists.
We support reporting on religion and public life worldwide, with particular attention to Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
No. The Institute is independent and nonpartisan, and it is not formally affiliated with any political body or Church authority.
